Fed Testing Needed!

i have been in both mortgage and stock brokerage and the amount of regualtion and education between the two is night and day.

To become a securities dealer you need to pass the Series 7 - a 6 hr test that requires months of prep. To become a loan officer in most states you just need to fill out an app. and pay a fee. In some states you dont need to get licensed at all you just need to be affiliated with a broker.

Slowly states are adding testing and background checks- but their needs to be a federal mandate. Since the fed is bailing everyone out, they should get to call the shots.

If you are curious as to what the laws are in your state regarding mortgage- here is a concise list: http://www.bankapedia.com/mortgage-encyclopedia/state-mortgage-laws

We found the secret to Loan modification. It’s ModByLawyers of Anaheim California

Mary of Victorville,California went to ModByLawyers with an Chase mortgage of 11.8% and a mortgage payment of $1,945. Due to her disability and being unable to work she could not continue to make her mortgage payments. With the help of ModByLawyers staff at ModByLawyers Mary was able to obtain a new payment of $957 per month with a lower rate of 4.0%. This modification saved her home.

Your states mortgage laws

Most state laws are antiquated. Unfortunately it took the economic disaster of the last few yrs to force some change.

States are slowing catching up to where they should have been 20 yrs ago

For those wondering what the laws in your state are

HOA Foreclosure

I just received a summons today from my HOA to foreclose on my townhouse. I was only recently able to get my home out of foreclosure with the mortgage company by changing the terms of my mortgage. I was never given any type of notice by the HOA that this was going to happen (not so much as even a late notice), and I don't even know who is managing the HOA now since a new company took over. I plan to sue them for failure to notify of a lien filing, and to file every motion I can possibly think of to delay the process. I find it hard to believe that the mortgage companies allow them to get away with this, since nearly half of all the owners in this complex are behind (or so the former HOA manager said).

HOA

I agree with IC on the HOA and their overall attitude and lack of service. I lived in Texas when laws were supposedly changed to govern the HOA's and what they did as a group to homeowners. I guess the laws did not work. I now live in MD, and my story is identical to IC's. After going through the process of saving my home, not even 30 days after the judge signed my paperwork, I received "notice of lien" from the HOA and "lawyer" for the community. An investigation on what happens "after" you save your home from foreclosure needs to be done. I have not been able to enjoy living in my "saved" home yet, because I am paying back the fees upon fees. Mr. Luke Mullins, help people like us get the word out. We need a voice and help.
